    I’m sure there are small benefits, but the benefits of the binhost are much cooler to me

      Was it much of a pain to set up? I was hemming and hawing about distcc recently, but binhost sounds potentially better.

        Are your systems the same architecture and similar profiles? If so, then yes. It’s just a matter of enabling it and running the quickpkg command.

        Otherwise, it’s a bit harder. You’ll be using cross compiler (if different architecture) and a chroot. You’ll have to setup the host to compile for the target systems whenever you do updates. The initial compile will take a while since it’ll compile basically everything.

            If recommend checking out the gentoo wiki on “binary package guide” or something like that. It explains quickpkg and everything else.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
